2026 Texas General Election

Fiscal responsibility

County taxpayers deserve to know where public money goes, what it buys, and whether it produced a measurable result.

Seek lawful, independent reviews of high-impact spending
Publish plain-language budget and contract information
Identify waste and connect spending to defined outcomes

Priorities

WHY HE IS RUNNING

Dallas County deserves leadership that reports back.

Mike believes county government should make its priorities clear, put measurable outcomes behind public spending, and tell residents what is working, what is not, and what happens next.

His approach is practical: listen first, bring the responsible people to the table, name an owner and a deadline, and keep the public informed.

What to know.
Public spending should be connected to a defined outcome and reported in plain language.
County public-safety systems depend on reliable operations and clear accountability.
Residents should be able to see what county government promised, what it spent, and what changed.
